Shadow was born in a brutal and unloving Roman pack where no wolves were treated with mercy or kindness. The pack wolves spoke latin as their native tongue and held their traditions, the gods and sacrifices. Many wolves do not know Shadow's main tongue is latin and that he is a roman as he mainly speaks English now. All wolves in his old pack were battle hardened warriors.

Born to a litter of three from two alphas, Shadow was the eldest and was destined to become the alpha after his father. His brother, Flame also showed talent but not as much as Shadow. His sister, Ice, however was disappointing. She was reserved and not assertive at all. She became the Omega of the pack until one day Flame was severely injured and his father, the alpha male, left him to die. Shadow and Ice managed to heal him and they continued on their way, leaving their half-siblings behind because there was no time to go back or risk the wrath of the pack.

After some traveling, the three of them arrived at a stranger pack territory. Flame and Ice settled in and the pack accepted them but Shadow did not like the territory nor the alphas so he bid farewell to his siblings and continued on his way.

Soon he entered Teekon Wilds and joined Swiftcurrent Creek where he stayed for three months but was banished after he confronted Bazi about her kicking Danica out. Before leaving the Creek, he asked Paarthurnax to leave the Creek and be with him and she agreed. Having explored a place east of Swiftcurrent Creek (A few days of traveling from there). He discovered a place in the far east of Rising Sun Valley and decided to settle down there, gathering wolves that pledged to be loyal to him and formed the pack called Noctisardor Bypass.

A few months after the founding of his pack, his mate Paarthurnax fled the pack with their babies, the realization that they were not compatible forcing her to leave. Anger, hatred, grief and sadness consumed the youth and he hurried after her, trying to make amends but knowing deep in his heart that it wasn't possible. Shadow did not like the idea of his pups growing up in his old pack, fearing they would be harmed as they were his kids. The stress and emotions that fell upon the youth was too much and he began to slip into depression, wondering if he should just suicide and die. After all, no one needed him anymore.

But after a meeting with Scimitar and the SC wolves, he regained his senses and began to hope once more for a good life. A month after the children's birth, Shadow decided to go and check on his pups. It was there at SC where he learnt of his ex mate and his only daughter's disappearance. He wanted his children with him at the Bypass so he gave them the decision, his two younger sons chose to stay while Trajan chose to leave the place that gave him too much bad memories.
